standard bearer

(she calls)

oh come forth, brave warrior!
i know you are there.
this friend calls on you now,
come, gallant knight

(he answers)

oh noble lady!
you have
courage untapped

await the breaking dawn,
when your standard will wave
proud and regal,
fearless in the face
of foes intimately known
and enemies uncounted (as yet)

you know not yet
what victories
ensue
